America's Best Maternity Hospitals 2022

There's nothing more joyful than the birth of a healthy baby. High quality
maternity care from pregnancy through birth and even postpartum is key to the long-term health of both newborns and of new mothers. To help you pick the best place to achieve the happy outcome of a healthy child and a healthy mother, Newsweek and data firm Statista are proud to announce our ranking of America's Best Maternity Hospitals 2022. Our list names the top 350 leading hospitals for maternity care in the U.S., divided into two performance categories: five ribbon hospitals (161 institutions) and four ribbon hospitals (189 institutions). Within each category, hospitals are listed in alphabetical order.

The evaluation is based on three data sources: a nationwide online survey in which hospital managers and maternity healthcare professionals (e.g., neonatal care providers and OB/GYNs) were asked to recommend leading maternity hospitals; medical key performance indicator data relevant to maternity care (e.g., a hospital's rate of cesarean births); and patient satisfaction data (e.g., how patients rated a hospital's medical staff for responsiveness and communication).

We hope you find our ranking useful in choosing the right maternity hospital for your family.
